[550 MB/s ] We run multiple units on set for backups, no issues and they've been very reliable. 5

[16 TB] I call my new drive my Big Black Box and it's build like a tank. Loaded over 35T of data via time machine in just 2-3 days which is much faster that other drives I've used. Only had it about 10 days but so far, so good!! Happy the B&H tech (forgot his hand- my bad) suggested this vs the G-raid. 5

[macOS] I think this is a fine drive. It's fast, quiet and runs cool. I've been using it for a week so far putting it through the demands and have had no issues. Their warranties seem to be terrific. Hopefully one doesn't need to use it, but the fact that they can overnight a drive to you if yours goes down is a big plus. 5

[10.92 lb] After using some smaller Glyph hard drives, I fell in love with them. I decided to give this bad boy a shot and I couldn't be happier. I will not go back, I'm in on Glyph from here on out. Reliable, awesome service and a wonderful product. Built like a tank. 5

[10.92 lb] This is my 3rd glyph pro RAID. I love the drives and the company. This unit is quiet and plenty fast for my needs. Would not hesitate to recommend. 5

[macOS] an absolute power house for larger and longer jobs. this rad is a tank and insanely fast especially with the new cards and resolutions and information coming out on cameras. downloads an alexa s35 card full in 20 minutes. 5

[550 MB/s ] I do photography which takes up a lot of room. I had 6 external drives totaling 12T. This drive replaced all of them as well as doing an automatic backup. I was also able to eliminate one docking station and 2 USB extenders. My office is so much neater. Well worth the price. One thing to note - check your power settings to have this drive on all the time as it takes a bit to come up after being powered down. 5
